■ A new Grand Valley babysitting service started by a Colorado Mesa University graduate recently announced it is open for business.

Kristie Clark, founder of Sitters in a Snap, said her new company provides pre-qualified and responsible on-call babysitters to families in need of professional and affordable care.

The sitter agency allows parents to call either “on a moment’s notice or far in advance” to book a babysitter for as few as three hours or as many as several days, Clark said.

“Babysitting agencies were started because some services are a little bit too important to seek entirely through an online database,” Clark said. “As a parent, you must demand the best care for your child.”

■ Pandora’s Piercing, formerly located at 1150 N. 25th St., recently completed its move downtown to 418 Main St. and is offering 20 percent off everything in the store to celebrate.

Co-owner Jennifer White said she and her husband, Marshall Stoddard, decided to make the move to take advantage of a “much larger location and a much brighter neighborhood.”

Look for the banners out front along Main Street to find your way to the new location, White said.

■ The old Litton Warehouse at 433 South Ave. is now called Lewco Warehouse Co. and features 90,000-square-feet of inside storage and three acres of outside fenced storage.

“The inside is fully sprinkled and cleaned up and security cameras are in place. The exterior speaks for itself,” spokesman John Spendrup said.

An exterior multi-color electronic sign is available for lease at $65 a month and can be used to sell items stored at the refurbished warehouse, Spendrup said.
